EVGA GTX 280 SC 1024MB GRAPHICS CARD FOR £159.99 inc VAT

90 Day Step-up/upgrade programme from day of purchase (Upgrade your card and only pay the difference direct with EVGA)

does this apply for future fermi as well?

Will have to check if this is still current will get back to you tomorrow.
 
I just jumped on this and bought three for tri-sli. The price is too good to be true. I was going to get another two 4870's to match my existing card but I waited too long and they seem to have vanished so I'll just sell my 4870 and then wait for fermi to hit to see whats best off doing.

If the 90 day step up is still available then great. If not its no great loss, now I just have to try and figure out where I'm going to get the money to pay for three waterblocks lol.

LOL, shouldn't you have done that first? I've seen blocks for these for around £100 a piece. :eek:

I contemplated buying 2 for tri-sli but I'd need new mobo and I'm not even sure a second is even gonna fit as it's that close to the HDD rack as it is and that's without the casing on the GPU (as it's under water) :eek:

would love to play through crysis etc with the settings really turned up high.:(
 
Yeah I know. But they often turn up on ebay dirt cheap, or I may even buy some GPU blocks as opposed to full cover and then get some heatsinks if it works out cheaper. Because that way I can just reuse the same blocks if I upgrade.

Space isn't an issue. I have a V2100 to fill :D
 
I am very tempted. Not sure how this setup would work with my dual monitors though.
2xGTX280s running 2x24" 1920x1200
Wont be gaming on the second screen but do run a whole lot of CAD apps.

Hah, same scenario as me.... what shall we do!
 
So if I got this and it "broke" in a few months time, will I get a Fermi based card as a replacement? ;)

Joking aside, it's good to see some decent prices on Nvidia cards finally.

haha, well . . . after a few drinks Im thinking I should buy now and think later :D

EDIT: made my order. Started reading around, seems to be some mixed opinions on this. a lot of users claiming 2 monitor support.

SliZone saying:

How many monitors are supported when running in SLI mode?
When in multi-GPU mode, SLI currently supports one monitor. When in single-GPU mode, users have the ability to use all of the connectors on their GPUs to connect to monitors using NVIDIA® nView® multi-display technology and Windows built-in multiple display support.

Worst comes to worst I will just toggle between single and multi GPU.
